Shangguan Liu'er also didn't expect that her grandmother would be so cruel to her because of this incident. "No, Xu Lang is a polite person. When we get along, we are in love and not polite."

Mrs. Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Back then, her daughter had an affair with Shangguan Houye before she was married. She was almost furious when she found out about it, and now she doesn't want to go through it again.

"Liu'er, you are the legitimate daughter of Shangguan Hou Mansion and the granddaughter of my Ran family. It's okay for you to be the concubine of the prince. Can't you set your sights higher?"

"No, I don't like those. I only like Xu Lang. He is outstanding in learning and only has me in his heart."

"Grandma, do you know? Xu Lang promised me that he would be with me forever and never take concubines."

"Tell me, if I were to marry the prince, who would refuse to take a concubine for my sake?"

"Liu'er, the promises of men are the most untrustworthy in the world. You are confused. Even if you lose favor by marrying the prince, you still have the power. By marrying a scholar, you will get nothing."

"No, isn't my father a good man? I believe Xu Lang is too."

Lord Shangguan has never taken a concubine since he married Shangguan Liu'er's mother. He also refused to marry a second wife at first. It was Shangguan Liu'er's mother who arranged the second marriage, so Lord Shangguan had no choice but to agree.

Outsiders all said that Lord Shangguan was deeply in love with his wife. Although he followed his wife's wishes and married his second wife, he still did not have a concubine in the backyard.

Everyone knows that Shangguan Liuer's mother was not very lucky. She was married to such a dedicated man, but she passed away early and had to find a new wife for her husband for the sake of their children.

But no one knew that when Shangguan Liuer's mother was still alive, she felt that Lord Shangguan Hou might have someone outside, but she just kept him outside. This prompted her to find a successor in the clan and give birth to the original owner. Taking sterilization medicine will help you protect your children in the future.

She was worried that after her death, if the foreign concubine came in, Shangguan Houye would favor the foreign concubine again. When the concubine would have a son and a half, her children would have no status at all.

She could only arrange for someone to occupy the position of the Marquis's wife. Even if the outer chamber entered the house in the future, she would be nothing more than a concubine, and the Ran family would naturally help her children.

She also thought about finding that woman and solving her problem. Firstly, her time was running out, and secondly she couldn't make Lord Shangguan hate her, so the only thing she could do was to personally choose the position of the Marquis's wife.

"Liu'er, you are just too naive. Your father thinks differently from you." Mrs. Ran didn't know what to say. Liu'er was just like her mother back then, blinded by love.

"Grandma, believe me, Xu Lang is really a great person. Please help me talk to dad, and he will agree."

"Impossible, don't talk about your father, I won't agree. It seems your father is right to punish you."

Mrs. Ran was angry when she thought that her daughter would plan like this before she died. She became even more angry when she saw Shangguan Liu'er as if she was possessed by a demon, and she scolded her loudly.

"Grandma, you are just like dad. You only want to marry me into a high family in exchange for benefits. You have never thought about my happiness."

"You..." Mrs. Ran was old. When she heard Shangguan Liuer's rebellious remarks, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Old Madam," Mrs. Ran's personal nanny quickly caught Mrs. Ran, "Old Madam, don't be angry, your health is important."

Mrs. Ran calmed down for a long time, "Just think about it in this ancestral hall. When did you figure it out? I'm asking your father to let you out."

"Grandma, grandma..." Even as Shangguan Liuer shouted, Mrs. Ran left.

Mrs. Ran did not leave immediately, but continued to see Ran Qi, "How do you manage your backyard? You actually gave your daughter-in-law the opportunity to have a private meeting with her foreign husband."

"I didn't manage it well before. I have already dealt with all those disobedient slaves."

Madam Ran, who wanted to call an army to investigate, was stopped by these words: "Huh, I hope you remember how you, Madam Hou, got your position."

"I remember very clearly how I was fooled."

"With your status, marrying a low-ranking official as your first wife is already a high degree of marriage. It's because my daughter likes you that you became Mrs. Hou. You must be grateful."

"I will always remember this kindness. Don't worry, old lady."

"Humph, it's good to know"

Mrs. Ran was so angry that Shangguan Liu'er felt unwell, so she left in a hurry after leaving such words.

After Mrs. Ran left, Ran Qi went to visit Shangguan Liu'er. After all, it didn't look good to see Mrs. Ran in this state.

Shangguan Liu'er in the ancestral hall looked much more haggard than before. This was the first time that Shangguan Liu'er, who had been finely clothed and well-fed since childhood, was punished and locked up in the ancestral hall. He couldn't bear it.

Seeing Ran Qi bring her some food, Shangguan Liuer instantly felt very cordial.

"Mom, you finally came to see me. This is no place for people. Please find a way to get dad to let me out."

Since I was scolded by Mrs. Ran just now, I feel even more friendly when I see Ran Qi now.

"Liu'er, I feel uncomfortable seeing you suffering here, but I don't dare to disobey your father's wishes."

"You are Mrs. Hou, I think you just don't want to help me."

Shangguan Liu'er's kindness came and went quickly. Seeing that Ran Qi couldn't help him, he immediately wanted to fall out.

"I know you are suffering here. Although I can't let you out right away, I have a way to get your father to let you go."

Shangguan Liuer's eyes immediately lit up, "What can I do?"

"As long as you admit your mistake to your father and say that you will never see Xu Wen again, your father will definitely let you out."

"Humph, are you helping me? I think you are my father's bastard, and I won't do this."

"I'm not asking you to really stop seeing Xu Wen. You should lie to your father first. As long as you go out, you will have plenty of opportunities to see Xu Wen."

"If I go out, dad won't agree."

"But if you are locked up here, you won't be able to see Xu Wen. Only when you go out can you have a chance to leave the house."

"Even if I go out, dad won't let me out of the house easily, unless... you help me."

Ranqi grabbed Shangguan Liuer's hand and said, "I will definitely help you."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Since I'm married, you are my daughter. Of course I hope you are happy, which can be regarded as repaying your mother's kindness."

"I will never forget your kindness to me"

The only person Shangguan Liu'er can trust at the moment is Ran Qi, and she also chooses to believe in Ran Qi.

As long as she can marry Xu Wen as she wishes, it's okay for Shangguan Liu'er to feel a little aggrieved.

Seeing that Shangguan Liu'er agreed and was very interested, Ran Qi found an excuse and left.

Perhaps because there are too many small worlds to travel through, Ranqi uses force less and less to solve problems, and instead likes to play with them slowly.

"Boss, did you just find out?"

I remember the first time I was about to wear it, Ranqi accepted the plot and directly raised the knife to kill the male protagonist. Now this boss is too gentle.

"Maybe, I'm not that violent anymore."

Actually? Ran Qi felt that cutting flesh with a dull knife might be more painful. If he killed the person with one knife, he would have to suffer less torture. Wouldn't that be too advantageous for them?

Only by experiencing pain and despair can these scum know pain.
